Just iterate the combinations of words from the string:

#! perl -slw
use strict;

# my %hash = ...;
my $str = 'Hi this is the sample string for string search';
my @words = split ' ', $str;

for my $start ( 0 .. $#words - 1 ) {
    for my $end ( $start .. $#words ) {
        print "Lookup: ", join ' ', @words[ $start .. $end ];
    }
}

__END__

Where words (or word combinations) appear twice in the string, they will be looked up twice, but that will be faster than de-duplicating the combinations.

Whether that is a problem will depend on whether you consider the same word or phrase appearing in different places duplicates or not; and what you are doing with the information you are generating.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
